gollark: The Arch arm-none-eabi-gcc was apparently updated about 2 weeks ago, so presumably they aren't getting it from ARM themselves. So I don't see why Debian would be either. Maybe they're just hilariously outdated for no reason.
gollark: ARM publishes them? Aren't they compiled by debian themselves from something something GCC source repositories?
gollark: I mostly just use an actual (μ)SD card reader.
gollark: I know someone who does malware reverse engineering a bit but I don't know if they'd care and also this is stupid and you should just assume anything on there is compromised.
gollark: I see.
